Is Faith Immoral?
by Coded Logic inwhen people willfully believe something without evidence, or contrary to evidence, are they neglecting thier moral responsibility?
so many people say faith is a virtue but i just can't comprehend why anyone would think that.

Dis-Member, then at least a part of me never grew up. My marriage is a November romance and I fell just as hard. Even as my logical side cried for caution, I fell in to the well of emotion. Illogical, foolish, but it worked out anyhow.
Dis-Member, I have an idea why faith might be more dangerous. Why do you think so?
When I fall it's with without reservation but tempered with reason.
Blind Faith is more dangerous.. because with blind love you can only hurt 2 people, the love object and yourself, with blind faith your can hurt yourself and potentially every other living thing you come into contact with.

Of the 6 elders that were on my committee in 1884: 10 of their collective children have left 'the truth' completely, 3 are gay, one is on class A drugs, 3 are apostate, the rest had mental breakdowns and fell away. The one married elder that did not have kids was removed as an elder but not disfellowshipped for sexually molesting a younger sister during and one-on-one home shepherding visit at her place.

Hey D-M:
Have you located that information yet 'proving' your claim that no (atheist) Chinese has invented anything in the last 1,000 years? I'm dying to read that....
It was not me that made that comment ADCMS.. I would never be so reckless. But you thinking it was me makes your previous statment make sense now.
A quick search will show the Chinese have been extremely busy in the inventions game.

Dis-Member seems to be one of those people who will do the right thing only because....fear of punishment from some god keeps him from doing what he really wants to do. In his view, an atheist must be wicked because he doesn't believe in god...therefore apparently has no goodness or morals whatsoever.
Perhaps I need to qualify ADCMS.. I was referring to the extreme ends of both the so called Christian and atheist spectrum. And you have to admit there are some pretty unpleasant individuals in both camps. I'm sure too there are also gentle and kind individuals in both circles.
.. and no I try to do the right thing because it feels right to me.. not because I am told or because I read it in some book. If I feared punishment I would still be at the meetings I quit over a year and a half ago and on my knees pleading. I do neither. Even when in I was extremely independent. I fear neither punishment or death as I have had many close dealings with both in my life.
I'm currently floating in no-mans land till I can figure out what I exactly do and do not believe. I am neither a Christian nor an atheist.. what ever options are left I'm in that blur somewhere.. One thing I feel somewhat sure about though is that everyone of us is wrong.
@Objectivetruth: You just confuse me that's all. I meant no offense..
